Is there any way to teach a child to be a fluent reader?
I mean once they know how to read but still read slowly, to reading fluently and effortlessly?
School say it just takes practice. But I think that's an easy / lazy thing for them to say. Not appropriate to say to a Y5 / Y6 child who has been practicing daily for 5 or 6 years.
Clearly not all kids make the leap to fluent readers.
If all it took was practice all pupils would leave the school fluent readers. All school would have to do is listen to the kids read.
